[wp-hackers] Why URL in GUID?

[Computer Guru]

Just a quick observation:
No matter what you use as the GUID, exporting the entire MySQL DB and
putting it on the remote server means its not ging to be unique no
matter what. So URI or otherwise, exporting SQL from test to
production means there'll be a guid overlap in there somewhere. :-)
